Many women have an allergic and negative response to silicone. These women develop an antigen to silicone,. Researchers at the NIH clearly have established that antigens and antibodies to silicone are real and exist. Anyone involved in silicone complications is well aware that blood tests are need to evaluate for these reactions to silicone. To not test for the antibodies and antigens is not acceptable science. However, none of the current implant companies have studied for this response. This test is available to all. Yet the gynos and drs, and plastic surgeons never order this test for their patients with complaints
(i think this means us too since my silicone levels are same as woman with breast implants!)

i just had my primary dr. do silicone level testing in my blood work. it came out very very high in my blood. i urge everyone to get tested only because silicone takes years to get out of the body sometimes permanent. i am post mirena two weeks and i did test four days ago and it came out to be .39
(the normal amount in a person should be .05).(anything over .10 is abnormal)
so drs lied to us when they said mirena does not enter our blood stream. and that is why our symptoms take time to go away. but there not as bad as when we had the mirena in. Silicone is deadly at any level. please get tested even if you had mirena out for long time. silicone does not clear over months or years.
that right there is proof it is extremly harmful
also google side effects to silicone and they are very similar to what we had.
